Hi. I’m a priest, working as a chaplain in the Sactuary of Our Lady of Fatima, in Portugal.
This is a simple blog to practice my English and to write about the aparitions of Our Lady of the Rosary to the tree shepperds: Lúcia de Jesus and her cousins Francisco e Jacinta Marto in 1917.
Comments are welcome.
